Image 1: Galaxy NGC-7640 Imaged at Lac Teeples on September 16, 2023
Just after midnight on September 16 I realized that the object I was tracking had landed in the trees. I was ready for bed and simply looked for any reasonable target that might be visible for a few hours while I slept. Ladies and Gentlemen: Let me introduce you to galaxy NGC-7640.
This galaxy is very high in the sky (declination +40) through the night right now at Lac Teeples (45 North). It is a small barred spiral galaxy, 10 arcminutes by 2 arcminutes seen roughly edge-on. It is found in the Andromeda constellation, and is located roughly 30 million light years away.
